If Powershell remoting is not working between two servers check this:

• Check if winrm service is running. Full name is Windows Remote Management (WS-Management)
• Execute winrm quickconfig
• Enable-PSRemoting -Force command on server.
• Get-ExecutionPolicy -List to check that you can execute…
• Check that winrm port is the same as listener port
  • Winrm port: winrm get winrm/config
  • Listener port: winrm enumerate winrm/config/listener
  • Change listener port by (from elevated cmd!!!):
    Winrm set winrm/config/listener?Address=*+Transport=HTTP @{Port=”5985″}
• Check Windows Firewall is not blocking port.
• Check that choosen port (5985 or 81) is open (Cryping, NMap)
• Check TrustedHosts list
  
  PowerShell

  Get-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts Set-Item WSMan:\localhost\Client\TrustedHosts -value * Restart-Service winrm -Force
